The muslims had invaded Europe and the inquisition was a method to get them out. Justified? I do not know.

Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:57:00 +0000/?p=64939#comment-418392The point being made was that ALL the organized monotheistic religions have there fair share of brutality !(Zoroastrianism may be an exception)

But in the interests of clarity-a few examples from a grotesque period-Torture and Punishment During the Spanish Inquisition

The Strappado is a form of torture that began with the Medieval Inquisition. In one version, the hands of the accused were tied behind his back and the rope looped over a brace in the ceiling of the chamber or attached to a pulley.

The rack was another well-known torture method associated with inquisition. The subject had his hands and feet tied or chained to rollers at one or both ends of a wooden or metal frame. The torturer turned the rollers with a handle, which pulled the chains or ropes in increments and stretched the subject’s joints, often until they dislocated. If the torturer continued turning the rollers, the accused’s arms and legs could be torn off.

While the accused heretics were on strappado or the rack, inquisitors often applied other torture devices to their bodies. These included­ heated metal pincers, thumbscrews, boots, or other devices designed to burn, pinch or otherwise mutilate their hands, feet or bodily orifices

Capital punishment did allow for burning at the stake. In some cases, accused heretics who had died before their final sentencing had their corpses or bones dug up, burned and cast out. The last inquisitorial act inSpain occurred in 1834, but all of the Inquisitions continued to have a lasting impact on Catholicism, Christianity and the world as a whole

Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:39:00 +0000/?p=64939#comment-418373Do your homework, Sir; almost ALL of these devices were invented for penal purposes associated with governmental enforcement, and are not the inventions of religious authorities. The bastinado, for example, dates to 960 A.D. China, and had no religious correlation. The iron maiden was based on the device used by the Carthaginaian government to execute a Roman statesman (Marcus Atilius Regulus). The scavenger’s daughter? Invented by a guard of the Royal Tower of London (named Skeffington/Skevington) during the reign of Henry VIII as a device to torture political prisoners. The pillory was used for criminals already prosecuted in court by the government; that it was used where religious authorities also served as community leaders conflates the issue, but does not negate my point. And all of Christianity (which is a faith, not a religion) did not resort to these devices, mostly only the Roman Catholics did–and there are a number of Christian religions which do not even acknowledge Roman Catholicism as a Christian religion, just for the record. (I have met several people here in the southwest who have said “I used to be Catholic, but now I’m Christian.” I have both a Catholic and a Protestant parents.) Just saying…

Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:34:00 +0000/?p=64939#comment-418370When Christians or any other religion worship their own religion they are in violation of the first commandment, and there is usually no end to the horrors they cause. When the majority of German Catholics and Lutherans bought into Hitler’s charisma and promises of prosperity and pride ………you know the rest of the story!

Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:19:00 +0000/?p=64939#comment-418364There is no way to compassionately wage 21st century limited warfare. When diplomacy, reason and sanctions fail and lawlessness is hailed, religious sectarianism prevails and Christians and Jews are persecuted and put to death (Mat 24 vs. 9) “That day – like the burning of cities that ended WW2 – will bring about the destructions from the heavens by fire and the elements will melt in the heat.” (2 Peter 3:12)
